It's Friday...so that means it is time to meet our Fashion Icon of the Week nominees!

model- Gemma Wardactress- Kerry Washingtonactress/singer- Zooey Deschanelsinger- Gwen StefaniThe polls will remain open through Sunday...and the new winner will be announced on Monday. So please start voting!!!

I have been wanting to try CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain for a while now. They were promoting the product in this past cycle of America's Next Top Model, and Drew Barrymore is looking beautiful wearing the product in magazine ads. So last night I ran to my local CVS and picked up one to try. I always pick out the wrong shade when it comes to lipstick/stain...so I tried to pick something that wasn't too bright or too dark and went with: Teasing Blush. Can I just say, I LOVE IT!!! This product is lightweight and stays put when you wear it. I can't get enough of the color.

Have you tried this product yet? If so, we want to hear what you think of it.

I have just loved having Mandy Moore as our fashion icon this week. Her sense of style and personality are just so refreshing. So many of you have written to me saying how glad you were that she was picked this week. Sadly I have to let everyone know that today is her last day as our fashion icon. We will be posting new nominees for you to vote on tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you can't get enough of Mandy we want you to head on over to her website. There you can listen to samples from her new album, Amanda Leigh...and even download it from iTunes. Also, be sure to keep checking in on her tour calendar to see if she's coming to perform in a town near you.

Rilee & Lo is known for having amazing fashion forward accessories. Right now they have two really great sales going on that everyone has to check out!

Rilee and Lo is having a Summer Stock Up Sale with code "SS25". All sale items are an additional 25% off with the code through June 3rd. Now's the time to pick up those pieces you've been eyeing from lines like Fallon, Adina Reyter, CC Skye, Bing Bang, Gorjana and many more.

"I'm not a swizzle stick – I'm not 14 anymore. "I appreciate when there are other women out there who are beautiful and aren't, you know, a pound. I feel lucky that I don't feel pressure to have my whole life be controlled by whether I fit into a certain size."

Pink is one of my favorite colors. I really love to see when celebrities decide to wear pink instead of the simple black dress. Here we have three very different dresses...and we want to know who you think looks prettiest in pink. Do you like: Selma Blair in her asymmetrical minidress, Michelle Monaghan in a long sleeved belted look, or Carrie Underwood in ruffles. Vote for style below!

We have found the perfect oversized clutch for the summer. This Bedford Zip Top Clutch from BCBG is the perfect bag that will make any outfit pop. It is on sale now for only $79 (originally marked at $158). All sales on this item are final.

There is a huge sale going on at Nordstrom right now! The half-yearly sale for women and kids is happening now through next Sunday (May 31st). They now have items 33% off or more! If you don't have a Nordstrom near you be sure to take advantage of the sales online as well. Don't wait until the last minute to shop this sale...as my good friend Cristin (Nordstrom employee) told me earlier, "If you want anything good come by this weekend". You don't want to have to settle for the picked over items.

"I hate when people tell me, 'Oh, all you have to do is take pictures!' They think you put on a little makeup, do a little bit of hair and take pictures. It's not just that. Being a model you give up seeing your [extended] family, you miss home a lot, you give up so much to make these designers' clothes look amazing."

I don't know what I love more about this dress...the beautiful color or the rickrack detailing. This Cut and Sew Dress from Mod Cloth is the perfect frock for the summer months. This dress is such an easy style do...your friends will surely be asking you for fashion advice after seeing you in this!

"I want to go all the way," she says of her career ambitions. "My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyoncé did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye," she says, "and it's always been a dream of hers. I'd love to be able to do that for her."

This adorable Metallic-Silk Mini from J. Crew is now on sale for only $49.99 (originally priced at $78). It's the perfect skirt to wear out on the town this summer. It comes in three vibrant colors that we know you'll love! Grab one now while there are still plenty of sizes available.
